About Scenthound
Scenthound is redefining the $147B pet industry as the nation’s first wellness-focused, membership-based dog care franchise. Unlike traditional grooming models centered on appearance, Scenthound prioritizes hygiene and preventive health—providing essential care such as bathing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and teeth brushing through affordable monthly memberships.
Our model drives predictable, recurring revenue while promoting consistent wellness for dogs. Backed by leading investors and a best-in-class support team, Scenthound offers franchisees a low-investment, small-footprint concept that can be operated hands-on or semi-absentee.
Technology is at the heart of Scenthound’s operations. Our proprietary app powers wellness tracking, client engagement, and real-time performance dashboards. Each visit includes a S.C.E.N.T. Check™—a six-point wellness assessment that builds long-term trust with pet parents.
Recognized by Inc. 5000 and Franchise Business Review as one of America’s fastest-growing franchises, Scenthound delivers a purpose-driven, data-powered model that transforms dog care. With strong profitability, national expansion opportunities, and growing consumer demand for pet wellness, Scenthound offers a ground-floor opportunity to lead the clean dog revolution.

History
Scenthound was founded in 2005 by CEO Tim Vogel, who began with a simple mission: to make essential dog care accessible, consistent, and affordable for every pet parent. What started as a mobile grooming business quickly revealed a major gap in the industry—most dogs, especially those that don’t require regular haircuts, weren’t receiving the basic hygiene and wellness care they needed. Determined to change that, Tim and his wife, Jessica Vogel, opened their first brick-and-mortar location in 2010, creating a model that prioritized health over aesthetics.
After years of testing and perfecting their approach, the Vogels launched Scenthound in 2013 and began franchising in 2019. The concept—centered on subscription-based wellness services and powered by data and technology—has grown rapidly nationwide. By 2023, Scenthound had awarded more than 400 franchise locations and was recognized by Inc. 5000 and Franchise Business Review as one of America’s fastest-growing franchises.
Built on a foundation of innovation, compassion, and proven systems, Scenthound continues to redefine the pet care industry. With its wellness-focused model, strong leadership team, and mission-driven culture, Scenthound is poised for continued growth as it leads the clean dog revolution across the country.
